Tom Vilsack - Withdraw Troops - No Cap

Tom Vilsack opposes the capping of U.S troops in Iraq, arguing instead for a full withdrawal.

Vilsack was campaigning in New Hampshire late last week and was speaking to a group of seventh graders at a Londonderry school.

Joining John Edwards in arguing for Congress to oppose new funding for the escalation, Vilsack differs from other candidates Clinton and Obama on troop levels. Vilsack said that "I don't get the capping of troops. We've got to be taking troops out of Iraq"

Vilsack said that the amount of money being spent in Iraq was limiting the amount of money that could be spent at home.
